Things to Remember for Paper 2:

  • You don't have to know every war or dictator, but remember, exam questions may ask about a type of war (civil, revolution, guerrilla, etc.) Additionally, a question might require you to discuss 2 dictators or wars from two different regions. Know your IB map and prepare accordingly.

Things to Remember for Paper 1:

  • The paper is similar to a DBQ...so most of the information you need to answer the question is in front of you! The mini essay will require you know some outside things too so be sure to prepare

  • Know your prompts:

    • Compare & Contrast: Identify similarities & differences relating a topic

    • Discuss: Review a range of arguments

    • Evaluate: Consider strengths & limitations (successes & failures)

    • Examine: Consider an argument or assumption and make a judgement as to its 
      validity of either

    • To What Extent: Often refers to a quotation or statement inviting you to agree or disagree with it
